On Tuesday, 22nd September 2015, my amazing mum “emigrated to Heaven”. 💔 They say that “time heals all wounds”, but I don’t think that grief is the kind of ‘wound’ that ever truly heals. 🤔😔 I didn’t just lose my mum the day that she died, I lost my best friend, my confidant, my biggest fan, and the first, and only, ‘influencer’ that I have ever known. She was such an inspiration, and not just to me, but to countless others too.
Six years on, I know that she would want me to be happy. In fact, she specifically told me so – she had cancer; and so was prepared for “when the time comes”. As part of her ‘instructions before leaving Earth’, she told us that we could “be sad for a little while, but then we had to be happy and get on with life”. Six years on and the pain still hurts as much as it did the day that she died… Time has made it easier to deal with the fact that she isn’t with me in person, but that sting of death is still so, so, raw that sometimes, when I think of the future w no ithout my mum, the grief is so overwhelming that it feels like I literally can’t breathe. I want to “be happy” and to “get on with life”, just like she told me to. The problems are… will I ever get to follow my mum’s final wish? And, does time really heal everything? I wish I could answer those questions, but I don’t think those are questions that we truly ever find the answers 🤔❤️‍🩹
